VB Lab Migration Assistant for Flipper Zero
This app is designed to make transferring your characters from VB Lab and VBC Lab more convenient.
Background
The Vital Bracelet Arena app is going to be the new companion app for the Vital Bracelet series of fitness bracelet toys, however the app does not support account linking from VB Lab and VBC Lab, and requires you to transfer characters one by one from those apps through your Vital Bracelet. Because the Vital Bracelet can only hold at most two characters at a time and requires inserting Dim/VBM to complete the transfer, transferring all of your characters may take a significant amount of time. The VB Lab Migration Assistant is designed to make this process faster by allowing you to store an unlimited amount of characters on the Flipper and to bypass the Dim loading process, therefore allowing you to transfer your characters without having to flip back and forth between the apps or wasting time loading data that will never be used.
Usage
1. Register Vital Bracelet
Registering your Vital Bracelet to the Flipper creates template data used for emulating the VB using the Flipper.
- Select "Register Vital Bracelet" from Migration Assistant's main menu.
- If you have an active character on your Vital Bracelet, transfer it to VB Lab/Arena. The active character slot on the VB has to be empty to avoid issues when transferring character from VB Lab/Arena to the Flipper. Press the right key on Flipper.
If using VB Lab:
- If there is an active character in VB Lab, put it in storage.
- On VB Lab's "Scan" page, tap "Vital Bracelet -> App". Press the right key on Flipper.
If using VB Arena:
-
Select the device type matching your VB and any franchise.
-
Tap the "Send" button. Press the right key on Flipper.
-
Tap the Flipper to your Vital Bracelet. You do not have to put the VB in scan mode. When Flipper finishes reading, it will beep.
-
On VB Lab, tap "Send", or on VB Arena, tap "Transfer Data", and tap the Flipper to your phone. VB Lab/Arena will give you an error message. This is normal, and you can dismiss it. The Flipper will beep. Wait for it to switch to the next screen.
-
Tap the Flipper to the original Vital Bracelet again. The Flipper will beep when it's finished reading.
-
Name the Vital Bracelet and select "Save".
The Vital Bracelet info will show after saving.
2. Select Vital Bracelet, Vital Bracelet Info
Use the "Select Vital Bracelet" menu to load a previously registered VB. After loading, you will see information about this Vital Bracelet:
- Registered name
- Vital Bracelet type
- Number of characters captured
Press the right key to see a menu of options you can use with the registered VB.
Spoof Version
Vital Bracelet Arena splits Vital Bracelet and Vital Hero Digimon into mutually-exclusive categories, and currently transferring VBM characters from VBDM has not been tested, so if you want to transfer between categories, you can select the Vital Bracelet version to spoof to change the VB type and force the app to perform transfers between categories.
Note that spoofing a Vital Bracelet Characters from a non-VBC registration and vice versa will not work because different encryption keys are used.
Unlink Account
This option unsets the account flag in the NFC data so the character is not bound to any particular account, and you can transfer it to a different Vital Bracelet that is using a different account when using VB Arena.
If enabled when transferring from app, the flag will be unset on the capture and will still be unset when transferring to app. If enabled when transferring to app, the flag will be unset on all transfers, regardless whether the flag was set when captured.
Note that VB Lab may still complain because it also uses character ID embedded in character data to check whether the character belongs to the current account.
